Tellier Les Massales Extra Brut 2021
Although the family's history as vineyard owners dates back to 1938, brothers Quentin and Alexandre started their project in 2016, taking 3 hectares of family vines to vinify their own micro cuvées. The majority of the family's holdings are in Moussy and the adjacent village of Pierry. Here the soils are relatively deep clay over a bedrock of chalk and produce wines of power and complexity. They also have vineyards in the villages of Chavot, Fontaine-sur-Aÿ and Cramant, mostly of Chardonnay where the soils are shallow and lay over pure chalk close to the surface, producing mineral-driven wines with undeniable finesse. A blend of all three primary grapes grown in the villages of Moussy, Pierry and Chavot-Courcourt, the grapes are 55% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir. Aromas of stonefruit and dried flowers that lead to a lively and refeshing palate
